Em C D
I'm waiting in my cold cell when the bell begins to chime
Em C D Em
Reflecting on my past life and it doesn't have much time
C D Em
Cause at o'clock they take me to the Gallows pole
C D Em
The sands of time for me are running low
Em
When the priest comes to read me the last rites
G C
I take a look through the bars at the last sights
A D B E B C
Of a world that has gone very wrong for me
Em
Can it be that there's some sort of error
G C
Hard to stop the surmounting terror
A D B E B C
Is it really the end not some crazy dream
Em
Somebody please tell me that I'm dreaming
C
It's not so easy to stop from screaming
D B E B C
But words escape me when i try to speak
Em
Tears flow but why am I crying
C
After all I'm not afraid of dying
D B E B C
Don't I believe that there never is an end
Em
As the guards march me out to the courtyard
C
Somebody cries from a cell God be with you
D B E B C
If there's a God then why has he let me go
Em
As I walk all my life drifts before me
C
Though the end is near I'm still not sorry
D B E B C
Catch my soul it's willing to fly away
Em
Mark my words believe my soul lives on
C
Don't worry now that I have gone
D
I've gone beyond to see the truth
Em
When you know that your time is close at hand
C
Maybe then you'll begin to understand
D B E B C Em Bm C
Life down here is just a strangeillusion
B Em A D G C A D
Yeah Yeah Yeah Hallowed Be Thy Name
